Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, a story...

Day 2,627, 01:17 Published in Belgium Belgium by Director9

A long time ago, in an eGalaxy far away, a star died. In its downfall it obliterated a small rocky sphere, home to an ancient civilization. Smart as they were, they saw their doom, and prepared for it. Launching a pod containing the entire gene pool into the vastness of eSpace.

This pod sped through the empty void, programmed to analyze the worlds which it passed. Untill one day, after thousands of years it found a world, capable of sustaining the life it carried within. New programs were booted, these were programs designed to give the old lifeform the best chance of survival.

The older reptilian like lifeforms were sacrificed, annihilated in just a few days, room was made to accomodate the precious cargo. The organic residue was perfect to inject the gene pool through the viral and bacterial carriers.

The pod buried itself according to protocol and started the guardian programs. The predictive models were correct. In the blink of an eye on the timescale of the eUniverse, the old civilization found a new start and evolved once again.

eNations were eventually formed, interacting with each other. It is at this point in time that the guardian programs noticed an anomaly. Pride, selfishness, greed began to take the upperhand. Traits, not found in the original species.

Buried deep in the pod harddrives, protocols were activated, designed to guide life to what it should have been. After carefull intervention, one entity was created to become a beacon, a mentor, a ruler and a destroyer if needed.

Director9 was born. Born in the small eNation of eBelgium he watched and learned. And at a choosen moment he stood up and commenced his divine mission. Little did he, or the pod know how strong the anomaly had grown.

Growing rapidly, hitting harder every day he wandered about the eWorld. Visiting other places, getting to know other people, actively involved in different communities albeit in the background.

The anomaly fought back, Director9 fell into a lethargic state, only with some help was he able to restore himself. Setting a new standard in eBe for other citizens to reach.

But this did not last. After rising from the ashes of a long gone civilization it looks like he'll soon return to the ashes. Gone, not a small footnote in the history of the eWorld.
